Picked up an AB6 and paired it with an MTQ throttle. The AB6 seems fine but the MTQ keeps randomly disconnecting, the timing seems very random but continuously happens. I’ve tried updating all of the firmware, no change. I went back to micro center and swapped it for a different MTQ only to have the same issue. I’ve also tried multiple ports on my pc as well as swapping between the ports on the AB6 and switching over to a straight USB connection between the MTQ and the PC. Nothing seems to help. Any one have any recommendations?

Recently installed Windows 10 to-go on a 512 microsd and I've been running it on my deck. However I just recently noticed that I seem to have zero internet specifically while in Big Picture mode. Under all other circumstances the internet works great. If I go in to Settings and go to Internet, I have absolutely nothing listed.

Things I've done to try and fix:

-I installed the community wifi drivers via github https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Windows-WiFi-Fix

-I saw a forum post from someone online mentioning this problem went away for them when they hooked up the Deck via LAN cable. I tested this and noticed that t

I should start this off by saying.. I've been through four Asus routers in three years. Perhaps a bit of bad luck but needless to say I'm done spending money on any networking equipment made by them. I'm now in search of a replacement. Looking to spend $350 or less and I'll need it to support gigabit WAN and wifi 6 would be nice. Any recommendations? Most of the networking guys at work I've talked with about this have recommended Ubiquiti. However the only thing I'm seeing is the Dream Machine, which seems to either have wifi 6 but then caps at 700 Mbps or supports a gig but then only has wifi 5. Appreciate the help!

Currently have a Z SE installed with optical running to a 2.1 speaker setup. My brother in-law recently handed me an AE-5 Plus and told me to keep it. I'm not a sound guy at all so I'm trying to decide if it's worth even installing. Thoughts?

Been using Airo vape carts for a few months with no issues, they hit super clean and it gets the job done within a hit. Recently decided to get myself a standard 510 vape (Select brand) with a cart with similar strength to what I've been using. When I hit it, it doesn't seem to produce a ton of vape and it seems fairly weak. Assuming my inexperience is causing me to do something incorrectly. I've tried upping thr voltage which helps a little but not much. Any ideas?

Anyone out there get their digital key from Best Buy yet? I feel like I'm on an island over here not being able to preload.

Anyone out there get the expansion AI mod functioning on Melkart? Been messing with it for a few days just checking all the config files looking for typos, etc. So far no luck, I can manually spawn AI in but my test patrol never shows up. Assuming it's something I screwed up but I'm just wondering if the mod just straight up won't function on custom maps.

Picking up a Tac14 today. I saw some info from 2018 stating that with a conversion kit you could mount a brace without a tax stamp. Obviously things at the moment are chaging quite a bit for braces in 2023. Anyone know if this is still doable without a tax stamp? I pulled up all the ATF articles I could find on the new rulings and I can't find any language that mentions SBS's.

Have everything maxed out, 140 fps. About every minute or so I get heavy studders and the fps drops by half. Oddly DLSS doesn't seem to do anything for the fps or studders. Anyone else having issues with this? 4070ti and an i9 12900k.

Adult owned, works flawlessly. I always like to note I'm not the type to let my PC run overnight so this thing likely has a lot less hours on it then most.

Anyone have experience using Bottles on the Steam Deck? I've done a few Google searches and I can't seem to find any answers. Installed Bottles last night, opened it, it started going through the initial setup. It said a couple of minutes, I'd say this probably took about 30 minutes to complete. I then tried to setup a Bottle, it comes up and says to sit tight. After waiting about an hour it's still not complete. Reset the Deck and tried again. Same thing.

Anyone mind measuring the Steam Deck for me (to include the track pads)? I'm working on printing and cutting a custom skin. Much appreciated!

In the process of trying to switch back to T-Mobile. T Mobile wants to reimburse me for my phones with a digital Mastercard. Has anyone attempted to link these to their PayPal account? Ultimately I'll need to get the cash back in my bank account to pay off my credit card for the payments I made to the phones.
